Meet AM Green, developers of the renewable ammonia mega-project in Kakinada, India. With FID obtained, pre-certification achieved, and a suite of offtake deals signed, the project is approaching production of renewable molecules. We’ll also be joined by Chemical Market Analytics for an overview of the fascinating context for renewable hydrogen and ammonia in India.
Samsung E&A held a groundbreaking ceremony for the 500,000 tons per year CCS-based ammonia Wabash Low Carbon Ammonia project in Indiana, USA. In other ground breaking news, the first major equipment was erected for AM Green Ammonia’s 1.5 million tons per year renewable ammonia project in Kakinada, India.
The new grant allows InterContinental to further advance and accelerate the mega-project in Australia’s northwest, which will feature up to 26 GW of hybrid wind and solar generation, and the production of up to 1.6 million tons per year of hydrogen.
Meet InterContinental Energy, developers of renewable hydrogen and ammonia projects at oil & gas scale. We will explore progress on the Western Green Energy Hub project in Australia, featuring up to 70 GW of wind and solar at full scale.
The long-term, binding offtake agreement has been signed for renewable ammonia produced at AM Green’s under-development facility in Kakinada, India. 500,000 tons per year of RFNBO-certified ammonia will be shipped to Europe as early as 2028. The agreement has been in the works since 2023.
Two Namibia-based renewable ammonia projects – Hyphen Hydrogen Energy and Zhero Molecules Walvis Bay – have received development funding from the African Development Bank and the SDG Namibia One Fund, respectively.
Mitsui & Co. and JERA announced that they have been awarded CfD funds by the Japanese government to support the import of CCS-based ammonia from the Blue Point project in Louisiana, USA. By 2030 (2029 in JERA’s case), full supply chains will be established to import the ammonia into Japan, for use in the power generation, cement manufacturing, and other industrial sectors.
Despite the successes and progress made in 2025, the year remains a missed opportunity for ammonia energy. The first complete supply chains for renewable ammonia are emerging, and some 600,000 tons of annual production capacity is set to be online in northeast China early next year. Maritime engines, cracking, and power & heat technology solutions also made their mark, moving from feasibility into deployment. But disappointing outcomes at the IMO and government support that failed to spark market development remains an issue, with plenty of critical, detail-heavy work ahead of us in 2026.
The pair are in advanced negotiations to cement a partnership that will de-risk and progress two key production projects: the Louisiana Clean Energy Complex in the USA, and NEOM in Saudi Arabia.
GreenGo Energy and SELECT Energy have signed a strategic partnership to develop a 4 million tons per year renewable ammonia project near Mauritania’s capital Nouakchott. The Mauritanian government has also reached a framework agreement with German developer Möhring Energie for the development of project NAYRAH, which will produce about 400,000 tons per year of renewable ammonia. This follows the government’s launch of its national “Green Hydrogen Code” in October this year.
